Overview
Catalog # bsm-70400M
Product Name CD46 (Extracellular region) Antibody
Applications WB, IP, ICC
Specificity Clone M037 mouse monoclonal antibody detects a 45-60 kDa* protein on SDS-PAGE "Native" immunoblots of human A549, MeWo, MDA-MB-231, and MCF7 cells, as well as human lung tissues. This antibody weakly detects denatured CD46. The antibody works for western blot, immunoprecipitation, ELISA capture, and immunocytochemistry.

Background CD46 is a complement regulatory protein that is also called membrane cofactor protein. This protein is a type 1 membrane protein that plays an important inhibitory role in the complement system. CD46 exhibits a cofactor activity that promotes inactivation of C3b and C4b by whole antiserum factor 1, thereby protecting host cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity. CD46 can also function as a receptor for selected bacteria and viruses, and is reportedly required for proper fusion of spermatozoa to the oocyte membrane during fertilization. CD46 is overexpressed in medulloblastoma tumors, and CD46 expression has been linked with poor prognosis in breast cancer. The upregulation of CD46 may protect cancer cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity to facilitate cancer cell immune evasion.
